Pagerduty finally fixed Rundecks Java requirements
In my rant article Get the damn memo already: Java11 reached end-of-life years ago I used Pagerduty's product Rundeck as and example for heavily outdated software requirements, making it unable to be installed on many modern Linux distributions.
Looks like they finally got their things together:
As of version 5.10.0 the Self Hosted RBA and Rundeck Open Source support either Java 11 or Java 17 runtime (JRE).
Building from source still requires Java 11 (JDK).https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/administration/install/system-requirements.html#java
In fact you want at least version 5.11.0 as version 5.10.0 still had the requirement for Java11 in the RPM- dependencies according to this Github issue: https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck/issues/8917
Finally!
Let's just hope they already have plans for Java 21 or even Java 25. As Java 21 support for Oracle already ended in September 2024. 😜
